Answer:
A hydraulic conductivity of 7.6 ft/day converts to 2.3 m/day.
Explanation:
This problem can be solved as a simple rule of three, with the mathematical conversion from feet to m.
Each ft has 0.3048m. So how many m are there in 7.6ft?
1 ft - 0.3048m
7.6ft - x m
So
A hydraulic conductivity of 7.6 ft/day converts to 2.3 m/day.
Because the earth's axis is tilted. It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis.
During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures.
During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot. Also, the long nights and short days prevent the Earth from warming up. That's why we have winter.
I hope this helped!

Cliffs are very heavy rocks and when there is too much weight it can cause cracks that weakens the structural integrity which can cause the cliff to either collapse or give way, falling on the ground below which can kill people crush cars or block roads. Hope this helps :)
